According to the Cooking section of Saed News, chicken and apple kuku is one of the newest and most popular variations of kuku in Iranian cuisine, offering a unique and delightful flavor. This dish is an excellent option for a light lunch or dinner and can be easily prepared at home. The following recipe serves 4, but the ingredients can be adjusted for smaller or larger portions.
Olive oil: as needed (for frying)
Small onion: 1, thinly sliced
Green apples: 2, peeled, cored, and chopped
Ground chicken: 450 g
Fresh sage leaves: 1/3 cup, chopped
Freshly ground pepper: 3/4 tsp
Salt: 3/4 tsp
Cinnamon: 1/2 tsp
1. Prepare the onions and apples:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the chopped apples (cut into half-centimeter pieces) and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the apples soften. Once cooked, set aside to cool completely.
2. Combine the kuku mixture:
In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with the cooled onion and apple mixture, chopped sage, pepper, salt, and cinnamon. Use your hands to combine the ingredients thoroughly into a uniform mixture.
3. Shape the kuku:
Take portions of the mixture roughly the size of a tangerine and shape them into round, slightly flattened patties using one hand as a base and the other to gently press. Ensure the edges do not crack; if they do, use extra mixture to seal them.
4. Cook the kuku in the pan and oven:
Preheat the oven to 176°C (350°F). In an oven-safe pan, heat a little oil and lightly fry each side of the kuku over low-medium heat for about 2 minutes until slightly golden. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until fully cooked.
5. Serve:
Serve the chicken and apple kuku warm with fresh bread, tomatoes, and herbs.
Chicken and apple kuku is an inventive yet simple dish that introduces a fresh flavor to your table. The combination of ground chicken and green apples, accented by the aromatic sage and cinnamon, makes it a satisfying choice for a light and quick meal. Following these easy steps, you can prepare a homemade version and enjoy a dish that is both healthy and flavorful—perfect with fresh bread, herbs, and tomatoes.
